Stroman lead the NL in starts, innings pitched, and he gave up less hits per inning than Kershaw. Their WHIP was just .01 apart. There has to be a value in a pitcher that throws 240 innings that WAR ain't measuring.

Are you telling me that your eyes don't see Bryce Harper and Mike Trout as arguably the best hitters in Baseball right now? What about Josh Donaldson?
I know this is a pitching thread but WAR only reinforces what your eyes can see if you look carefully.
Same with pitcher WAR. Tell me who doesn't belong.
